4.0 out of 5 stars EVERYTHING CITRUS, October 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Citrus: Selection Guide, Planting and Care (Sunset Gardening) (Paperback)

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT BOOK ON CITRUS. THE ILLUSTRATIONS,PICTURES AND OVERALL PRESENTATION MAKES FOR QUICK AND PLEASANT READING. I HAVE MORE THAN 15 CITRUS VARIETIES IN MY FLORIDA GARDEN AND AM ALWAYS INTERESTED IN INDULGING THEM WITH THE BEST CARE POSSIBLE. THIS BOOK PROVIDES STRAIGHTFORWARD ANSWERS TO DISEASES, FERTILISERS, INSECT CONTROL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND IN SEVERAL OTHER BOOKS I HAVE. THIS BOOK ALSO COVERS ALL THE COMMON CITRUS VARIETIES AVAILABLE. THE FIRST TIME HOME GARDENER INTERESTED IN ORANGES AND OTHER CITRUS WILL FIND ALL THE INFORMATION HE NEEDS TO GET GOING AND KEEP GOING!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite enough info, but makes a good extra, March 10, 2010

If you could only have one reference book about growing Citrus, I think that this is not the one you should pick, but it makes a pretty good extra one. I personally think that the Ortho one is better. I grow my Citrus in containers since I live in an area that gets too cold in the winter, and I didn't think this book did quite as well in the container-grown information. Still, it does have a lot of good information.

I cannot believe that this book does not have higher ratings! I have used it for 20 years and it has not let me down. It is FULL of ideas for growing citrus. Sunset shows you how to espalier, container, hedge and lots of variations. The book is full of pictures and I consider it one of my favorite gardening books. I am an avid citrus grower and I love this book.
